No, I'm not joking. (Incidentally, my employer is based in Houston. Go figure.) Pretty much everyone in my office (Portland, OR) thought it was a stupid exercise.
Does anyone else outside of the US do shit this stupid?
Not in the People's Republic of Berkeley (California). Kids don't recite the pledge. Some parents complain if we have flags in the classroom. Personally that suites me fine.
I remember during the Viet Nam non-war deciding if my number was called I would go. So glad my number was 316. I am not the least bit patriotic but I would have gone out of a sense of doing my share. If I'd gone and ended up in a wheel chair I think I would have felt stupid for the rest of my life.

Fucking pathetic.
That is some funny shit!

I have noticed. I don't know when I was last titillated on these forums.
